SUMMARY:AIA Lecture: Ancient Maya Marketplaces:
DESCRIPTION:The identification of marketplaces among the Classic Maya 
 has come late for several reasons\, one of which is that they were mos
 t often open-air events in which perishable\, temporary stalls were cr
 eated and thus challenging to find archaeologically. Their discovery\,
  however\, has caused major changes to our understandings of the compl
 ex ways in the Maya interacted and were integrated. This lecture explo
 res the ways in which Classic Maya marketplaces (AD 500-900) served to
  provide staple goods for households and could be influential in the p
 olitical strategies of Maya rulers. Marketplaces at the sites of Buena
 vista del Cayo and Xunantunich located 5km from each other in the Mopa
 n River valley of Belize are discussed in detail. The extensive resear
 ch strategy applied at these sites has contributed to settling the deb
 ate as to the existence of Classic Maya marketplaces and addresses que
 stions about their diversity.
